Ingredients
  

Gummy Base
  • 0.5 cup cold water
  • 0.25 cup unflavored gelatin powder about 4 packets
  • 0.5 cup light corn syrup
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup Blanco tequila
  • 1 tsp citric acid
  • 0.5 tsp fruit flavoring oil e.g. strawberry, lime
  • 1 dash gel food coloring various colors
Coating
  • 2 tbsp edible glitter or luster dust

Equipment

  • Silicone wand or stick molds
  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Dropper or squeeze bottle

Method
 

  1. Lightly grease silicone wand molds with neutral oil. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a bowl to bloom for 10 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, heat corn syrup and sugar over medium heat until sugar dissolves and it begins to simmer.
  3. Remove from heat, add bloomed gelatin, and whisk gently until completely melted and clear.
  4. Let cool 3 minutes. Stir in citric acid, tequila, flavoring, and food coloring.
  5. Pour the mixture carefully into the prepared silicone molds.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until fully set.
  7. Remove from molds. Optional: let them cure on a wire rack for 24 hours for a chewier texture.
  8. Roll or brush each gummy wand in edible glitter until fully coated. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Do not boil the mixture after adding the tequila, or the alcohol will cook off.
